Sunan an-Nasai 2620 (Book 24, Hadith 2) #17231
The Obligation of Hajj

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that Hajj is an obligation for Muslims, but it should only be done once a year.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah stood up and said: Allah, Most High, has decreed Hajj for you. Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamimi said: "Every year, O Messenger of Allah?" But he remained silent, then he said: "If I said yes, it would become obligatory, then you would not hear and obey. Rather it is just one Hajj".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَلِيلِ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَامَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ كُلُّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ ثُمَّ إِذًا لاَ تَسْمَعُونَ وَلاَ تُطِيعُونَ وَلَكِنَّهُ حَجَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

Obey Allah's commands, Think before speaking.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of the Islamic pilgrimage known as Hajj. It is an obligation for all Muslims to perform at least once in their lifetime. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked if this should be done every year, but he remained silent and then said that if he said yes, it would become obligatory and people would not hear and obey. This shows us that we must follow Allah's commands even when they are difficult or inconvenient for us. We must also remember to think before we speak so that we do not make promises or commitments that we cannot keep.
